Late night supper

Im so tired. Went home late today since its the last day of the month and cut and lots of work done today but still lots of work waiting to be finished tomorrow. I tried to finish them but I have decided in my heart to go home and eat, I need to refuel, anyway tomorrow is another day. Most of the time when I get home late I no longer eat dinner, sleep will help me forget hunger but tonight was an exception, I was starving and needed food, I want food and thank God there was still pinakbet on the table and fried fish, wow, it was perfect, it was the dinner I dreamed of, wish granted, Thank you Lord!, you are so awesome. And the late dinner fed a hungry soul and kept me awake, I cant sleep with a stomach freshly fed, I need to burn a few calories somehow and browsing through facebook and a few blog hopping was a great calorie burning activity to keep up.

Im tired.

I need to rest.

Tomorrow  is another day.

Lost and found


I found the gift for myself for my 35th birthday. Its not some costly jewelry for I know I couldnt afford one, and it was not a time for myself to go somewhere for I would want to spend it with someone, I did that last year, though it was also fun it would have been more exciting if I shared it with someone. And that gift for myself is this cute lamb stuffed toy. Why?
I felt it. The moment we gazed at each others eyes, I picked him up and we were inseparable. He reminded me so much of myself. Helpless, vulnerable and needed a saviour. I named him lost and found, just like the lost sheep I also was lost and now Im found. I am helpless, and Im just glad he found me. Just like the story in the bible how the shepherd left his flock just to find the one missing sheep, and when He found the lost sheep he joyfully puts on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls friends and neighbors to rejoice with Him for he has found his lost sheep. "tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent’” (Luke 15:3-7). I imagined how the angels in heaven rejoiced when I accepted Jesus Christ as my saviour and Lord last may 10, 2001.

Now, i have lost and found, he has a new home and is one of my favorite sleeping buddy, always beside me when I sleep at night.

Made me think.......

Things and events in life happen for a reason, nothing happens by chance or luck, they happen to teach us a lesson and I learned mine last February 12, 2011.

Maybe if I was not saved by that brave kid I may now be lying there as cold as steel inside a coffin.

I dont know if I'd look well inside a coffin, hmmm, of course I would want to look good inside a coffin, Id like to look like sleeping beauty than to look like someone who just died from drowning.

It was just a kids game, me and mam madz surveyed the depth of the pool step by step and with caution but to my surprise I just slipped and felt like theres a magnet pulling me deeper, i gasp for air, struggled and begged for help, with arms reaching out but death never came to mind, what was on my mind was that I have to get out of that depth, survival. I was helpless, I needed someone to rescue me that my state of helplessness.

Wew! That was close.

Im glad Ive reached my 35th birthday and there's so much reason to celebrate, another chance, one more year. Days after that many things came to mind. What if I died?

First lesson I have learned, that I should learn to swim. Well, I know how to float but during that time panic over powered me. It would be a shame but I should find time to learn, it never too late im not too old to learn swimming, anyways learning is a life long process.

Another lesson i have learned is the art of putting my plans and prayers to action. I always prayed that I will be able to share the gospel to my office mates, but that almost drowning incident made me realize that I prayed for years but never tried to share it to them, I had my own reasons that they were busy and I was busy, I kept on procrastinating and had alibis. Im just glad I already shared the gospel on my birthday, it was the best birthday gift I had, I ws the answer to my prayer.

I wish you enough

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more..
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting…
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good- bye.
I'd like my readers to add i wish you enoughs with your version, Id really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance and have a nice day."
